Note di degustazione
Full medium red. Captivating aromas of dark cherry, dried rose, lavender and crushed rock. Juicy and intensely flavored, offering excellent definition to its penetrating flavors of raspberry, cherry and saline minerality. Shows limited early sweetness but the wine's long, slowly mounting finish features dusty, well-buffered tannins and terrific saline energy. Part of this vineyard is on pure rock with very little topsoil and the strong mineral element thoroughly buffers the alcohol of the vintage.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux has an animated bouquet with perfumed dark cherry and raspberry fruit, a hint of violet surfacing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with very good substance, fine delineation with crisp acidity. The fruit feels darker here than other cuvées from Fourrier, satin-like in texture with a seductive finish. Four barrels produced.
From the north side of Gevrey: this vineyard is in shade in the afternoon and gets a breeze from the Combe de Lavaux. Just racked into tank prior to tasting. Very dark. Very intense nose. Extremely dense. But finishes cool and refreshing. Racy and polished. Neat, dry finish. (JR)
Medium red. Tighter and less fruity than the last couple of Gevrey premier crus, with restrained dark fruit flavors gaining in floral perfume with aeration. Combines impressive opulence and viscosity with superb inner-mouth energy, with a crushed blueberry flavor dominating. Turns more toward crunchy red fruits on the very long back end, which offers terrific mineral pungency and fully supported tannins.
